(S2) - Weekend PT #5 - Team Bonding

[Roshambo]

A somewhat common pre-game warm up ritual across most sports has started to take hold in the Otters’ locker room thanks to kicker Joey Langdon. Kickers are normally fairly timid and Langdon is no exception. There have been times where a majority of the Otters didn’t notice him in the room, or forgot they had a kicker entirely.

“Ronaldo was a pretty outspoken guy, so when he left and Joey took over it was pretty polarizing…” Dominic Verns mentioned when asked prior to Week 7. “He’s either super sneaky or just never around - we’re not sure which. Some of us honestly thought we just took turns on special teams.”

Langdon finally spoke up and brought juggling into the Otters locker room culture. Not circus juggling of course, but juggling a soccer ball, also called fittingly “keepie uppy” or “kick-ups.” Many Otters players have gone on record to say it helps not only to lightly warm up but also to gather focus - though again most easily forget the man responsible for starting it.

Isaiah McGill credits Ragnar Kronen. Kronen mentioned he thought it was brought up by Spector. Spector deflected and said it was most certainly Clegane. Clegane simply said “I do not care.”
